DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) clusters should be encrypted at rest

NISTISO 27001

Description

This control checks whether a DAX cluster is encrypted at rest. Encrypting data at rest reduces the risk of data stored on disk being accessed by unauthorized users.


Remediation

To enable encryption at rest for DAX clusters, you must recreate the cluster with encryption enabled.

Steps

  1. Open the DAX console.
  2. Recreate the cluster with encryption at rest enabled.
